This is a brief report regarding the influence of international debts
over government’ health spending and how that negatively influences
local citizen health. It looks at data for num_countries
countries. This page compares the health spending and health situation
between countries all over the world,
summary_info$num_in_debt of which are in debt
crisis according to the Jubilee Debt Campaign (JDC). While chart 1
maps global differences in health spending, chart 2 furthers our
argument by showing the correlation between debt and health spending.
Currently, the country that uses the greatest percent of government
expenditure on health, summary_info$greatest_country, has a
net creditor score of summary_info$greatest_country_net.
Also, the data looks at maternal mortality rate as an indicator to show
how countries in debt impact individual health. Currently, the country
with the lowest net creditor/debtor score,
summary_info$most_in_debt, has a maternal mortality rate of
summary_info$most_in_debt_mmr. Our analysis aims to prove
how financial actors in government play a role in citizen health and
health care.
#In this table, we included all the important indicators that helps us prove the correlation between international debts and citizens’ well beings, which is also a summary for all the essential indicators we used for the following chart. We want use this table to show the dimension including debts, government health spending, and health indicators that we include in this page, and also how many countries we are included in our research.

This chart is a scatter plot showing the relationship between a country’s government debt and government health spending. Each point represents a country. On the x-axis is the a numeric indicator for net creditor(+) or debtor(-) of that country from 2020. On the y-axis is the health spending as a percent of total government expenditure. This number is taken form the most-recent year of data collection, which most are from 2019 with a few from 2018. The color of each point tells you what the level of debt risk calculated by the Jubilee Debt Campaign. Hover over a point for more specific statistical information. The line shows a positive trend, with a dip where countries are neither a very far into debt or are large creditors.
This barplot depicts the maternal mortality rate of women across
different countries around the world with different financial statuses.
Based on this data, countries with lower incomes and less access to
healthcare have a larger negative effect on women’s health which poses
as a bigger risk.
